I went for a 50 minute walk today.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be sharing the 11 images I captured, in the order they were shot.

This is what I’m referring to:

It’s the spontaneous coalescing of disparate elements into a pleasing composition that, for me, makes this interesting.

I seldom engage in street photography, because moments like this are few and far between.

However, if one is able to capture an instance like this — a moment of serendipity — and manage to frame it in a nice way, it’s a euphoric experience.

When I acquired my first rangefinder in late 2007 — the iconic Leica M8 — the two Leica lenses I purchased were the 50mm Summilux ASPH and the 28mm Elmarit ASPH.

Well, at some point along the way, I sold that little 28/2.8. That was a mistake.

It’s now back in the fold… and I’ve come full circle.

(I was wiser then than I am now.)
